Users of the website in general

"Non-personal identification information" is information that, without the help of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. The "personal identification information", on the other hand, is information such as a name or email address that, with nothing else, can be associated directly with a specific person. Like most website operators, Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel collects non-personal identification information of website users of the type that web browsers, according to their configuration, can make available. This information includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the user; the operating system; the type of browser; and the locations of the websites that the user sees just before arriving, as well as while browsing and immediately after leaving the website. Although this information is not personal identification information, it is possible that the company can determine from the IP address, a user's Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s connectivity point, as well as other statistical usage data. The company analyzes the non-personal identification information collected from the website users to help the company better understand how the website is used. By identifying patterns and trends in use, Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel can better design the website to improve user experiences, both in terms of content as well as ease of use. Occasionally, Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel may also disclose non-personal identification information collected from users of the website in general, such as when publishing a report on trends in use of the website.

If you do not use any of these buttons, your data will not be sent to the add-on provider of the corresponding social network. For example, when you click on the Facebook “Like” button on the website, Facebook will receive your IP address, browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device you used to access the website.
